Theocracy is typically ruled by a small group or one individual who holds religious authority, often believing they are guided by divine principles. In such systems, religious leaders or institutions have significant power over political decisions, making it distinct from systems governed by a larger, more democratic electorate. While there can be variations, the central characteristic of theocracy is the intertwining of religious and political power, usually concentrated rather than widely distributed.

Well, it used to be ruled by a king and queen until the French revolution when they were executed. Now it is "ruled" by an elected prime minister and a government. It is a democracy.
It is communist but effectively a castro dictatorship and therefore one.

Many countries have a predominant religious following (e.g., America) but there isn't a word for that. You seem to be looking for the word "theocracy", which means that the country is "ruled" according to that religious belief (e.g., Saudi Arabia).
The form of government you are referring to is a theocracy, where the ruler governs with divine authority and is both the political and religious leader of a society. Examples include ancient Egypt with the pharaohs and the Vatican City with the Pope.
One example of a theocracy government is Iran

An aristocracy government was ruled by one King/Queen, an oligarchy government was ruled by the few.
The word "theocratic" comes from the Greek words for "god" and "government. It means "government by priests" or whatever kind of religious leaders the particular state has. A "theocratic republic" would be a state whose governors are elected from a group of priests. Vatican City is a "theocratic republic". The government of Iran, although described as a republic, is really more like a theocratic constitutional monarchy, as the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah) is not an elected position (but is one which is always filled by a top cleric.)
The word "ruled" has one syllable.
